Patent GB-190407362-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Laundry Ironing Machines.
Inventor: YULE JOHN STIRLING
Filed: 1904-03-28
Granted: 1905-03-23
Abstract: 7362. Yule, J. S. March 28. Ironing-machines.-In machines in which articles are ironed between heated chests or irons and a rotating felt or blanket covered cylinder, the cylinder is rotated alternately forwards and to a less extent backwards, so that the articles are exposed to the heat of the chest and to the atmosphere alternately, and the vapour escapes. The mechanism described in Specification No. 7195, A.D. 1904, may be employed, as shown in Fig. 1. The crank disc D, driven from the main shaft, operates a lever F by means of a connecting-rod or otherwise. The lever turns loosely on a shaft G on which a toothed wheel H is also mounted. A spring catch I on the free end of the lever F engages with a tooth on the wheel H unhindered by a cam J during the whole of the forward motion. During the backward motion, the cam lifts the catch over a number of teeth, so that this motion is shorter, and the wheel is thus moved gradually forward. The motion is transmitted by toothed pinions K, M and a wheel L to the drum A. One end of a lever rests in contact with a stud on the catch I, so that, when this is raised by the cam J, a tooth on the other end of the lever holds the wheel H motionless. In a modification, the motion may be given to a rotating heated iron in contact with the dram, to which the motion will be transferred. Two irons or chests N, N<1>, of which the latter acts as a polishing-iron, may be provided, as shown. The feeding may be done by hand, or by the use of an endless band passing round a pulley on an adjustable axle.

Title: Improvements in the Production of Chemical Reactions in Gases and Vapours by Electric Discharges
Inventor: MONTLAUR AMAURY DE
Filed: 1904-06-02
Granted: 1904-10-06
Abstract: 12,541. Montlaur, Count A. de. June 3, A.D. 1903, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Rontgen-ray and like apparatus.-In the production of ozone, and of compounds of nitrogen with air, oxygen, or hydrogen, or with both hydrogen and oxygen, for forming nitric acid or ammonium nitrite, or with acetylene in the manufacture of hydrogen cyanide, the gases, either previous to or during the operation of the electric discharge, are submitted to the ionizing action of cathode or X rays. The silent-discharge apparatus, shown in Fig. 1, consists of two concentric cylinders a, b, serving as conductors for the discharge, and an X-ray bulb d placed inside the inner cylinder. The cylinder a is formed of thin smooth or striated aluminium, or it may be perforated, being made of aluminium wire gauze, or the surface may be studded with small projections. The cylinder b, of aluminium &c., or of tin for the production of ozone, is enveloped in a casing c of lead or other substance impenetrable to the rays, and may or may not be lined internally with a dielectric such as glass. The gases, which are introduced through the aperture h, pass into the annular space between the two cylinders, and leave through the pipe p. Liquid products pass out through the orifice a. With high-frequency currents, a bulb e, Fig. 2, of the d'Arsonval type is employed, being fitted with a glass tube f which is filled with conducting- liquid and acts as the cathode ; the anode consists of a metal ring g fixed on the outside of the bulb. In the discharge apparatus shown in Fig. 3, the discharge takes place between a ball-shaped conductor i and a metal ring k placed against the inner wall of the tube j, which is made of resistant non-conducting material. The bulb l, situated adjacent either to the inlet or to the outlet for the gases, is furnished with a number of electrodes n, preferably four or six, which are supplied with polyphase currents by conductors m, each of the electrodes being fed by a different phase so that pencils of cathode rays are emitted by them in succession, and the spark circulates around the tube, describing a luminous cone. The radiating bulb may be fed either by a derivation of the discharge-producing current or by a separate source, or it may be energized by the field created by the high-frequency discharges without the employment of electrodes properly so-called.

Granted: 1905-08-10
Abstract: 21,852. Betteley, J. H., and Oswald, T. H. Oct.]11. Locking nuts.- A locking-device is formed integrally with a nut. and serves to counteract elongation of the bolt and also wear and tear on the bolt head &c. Upon the underside of the nut a is formed an extension b, preferably cylindrical, the internal bore being plain and lying clear of the screw thread. A portion m of this extension is partially detached by slits or cuts e, g, and is then forced or sprung downwards, so that when screwed up the sharp edge i embeds itself into the material, such as the fishplate of a rail joint, and prevents any backward rotation of the nut. In some cases, the screw thread of the nut may be continued through the extension, when, on screwing up, an additional lock is provided by the grip of the member m upon the bolt thread. In a modification, Figs. 5 and 6, the cylindrical extension &c. may be formed upon the top of the nut ; it may be screwed or plain as desired, and differs from the original form in that the member h is forced radially inwards to bear against the thread of the bolt with the same ratchet-like action as before.
